North Gwinnett defensive back Quinton Newsome became the latest to jump on board with Nebraska, committing to the Huskers on Monday afternoon.
Newsome is the first defensive back commitment of the 2019 class. The Huskers are likely going to take four commitments for the class, and Newsome’s versatility makes him a strong starting point as the coaches look to add on more.
At 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, Newsome could play anywhere in the secondary for the Huskers, something Travis Fisher has talked about a lot going forward. The Nebraska assistant said he always tells guys as he recruits them that he wants them to have the ability to play cornerback or safety, which gives more depth overall for the defense.
Newsome, a consensus three-star, chose the Huskers over Auburn and Georgia, as well 17 other schools.
